SGRAPER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 372,975, dated November 8, 1887.

Application filed March 31, 1887. Serial No. 233,183. (No model.)

.To all whom, it may concern:

Be it'known that I, WILLIAM HASLUP, a resident of Sidney, in the county of Shelby and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful'lrnprovements in Scrapers, of which the following is a specification.

My .invention relates to a two wheeled scraper. It is of the same general class as that shown in Letters Patent No. 316,779, granted me April 28, 1885.

The object of my invention is to cheapen, simplify, and strengthen the construction of the parts, all of which will be fully set forth in the description of the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improvement with one of the wheels removed, showing the scraper in a position for carrying the dirt. Fig. 2 is a similar View showing the scraper in position for loading. Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the position of the scraper after the load is dumped. Fig. 4 is a sectional top plan view of the scraper in the position shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a broken sectional elevation on line 00 00, Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a top plan detail view of one of the brackets. Fig. 7 is a side elevation of one'of the suspending brackets. Fig. 8 is a perspective view of one of the suspending-links. Fig. 9 is a perspective View of one of the stop-lugs.

v A represents the ground-wheels, there being one on each side of the scraper.

B represents a bent axle.

0 represents handles rigidly secured to the scraper-bed in any desired manner.

D represents draw-bars or hounds, one end of each-of which is pivoted to the side of the scraper by a bolt, 0?, and the other end rigidly attached to the tongue E by bolts e.

F represents abrace, which is riveted at one end to the draw-barD and at the other bolted to the tongue E. The rear end of draw'bar D is made of .curved form, so as to allow the axle Bio drop into the position shown in Fig. 3, and allowing the scraper to turn farther over in dumping.

1 represents the bed of the scraper made in any desired form.

1) represents lugs or stops riveted to the sides of the bed of the scraper,which form stops for the scraper-bed 1.

2 represents ears riveted to the scraper-bed 1 and formingabearing for one end of the lifting-lever G. It is made, preferably, of three pieces, two arms, g, which are pivoted to ears 4 2, the rear ends of which are bolted to lever f of lever G, as shown in Fig. 4. The lifting-leverfis benthalf-round at the inner end, forming ahook,f.

t is a boltpassing through the hook f, mak ing a bearing for the holdinghook I, and also for the holding-pawl H, which in turn hooks' tocatch h, riveted to the bed of the scraper to WILLIAM HASLUP, OF SIDNEY, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO J. H. DOERING,

OF WAPAKONETA, OHIO.

hold lever G down in the position shown in Figs. 1 and 3.

3 represents a bracket riveted to the side of the scraper, one end of which is bent out to form a bearing for levers 4, and the other end bent out and turned half-round to make a bearing for bolt d, which carries hounds D, as shown in Fig. 6.

Links 4 are rigidly attached to axle B by means of the boxing-clamps 12 13 and bolts 14.

The upper end, projecting above, is attached to levers 6 by a bolt, 7, and to levers g by pivots 8.

15 represents pivots upon which links 4 swing. The lower ends of levers 4 are bent out to engage with stop 9 on hounds D.

In Fig. 2 the scraper is shown in position for loading, therefore having links 4 in a more upright position, bringing the bent ends in position'to engage with hook 9, thereby preventing the scraper-bed 1 from turning over.

, Tolift the scraper out of the ground, draw on lever G, drawing the upper ends of links 4, pulling on the front end of the scraper at pivot 15,which draws the point of the scraper out of the ground until stop I) strikes the hounds D,

and then all will rise together until the book H engages with the catch 72; on the rear of the scraper.

In order to dump the scraper, lift up on the handles 0 until the point of the scraper strikes the ground, and the draft of the horses will 5 turn the scraper-bed over, allowing hook 10 on the end of links 4 to pass stop 9 until hook I engages with catch 11, holding the scraper in that position;

The point 10 of hooks 4 and the lugs 9 on IOC houndsD are made of such shape that they prevent the hounds D springing away from the catch in filling, as they are wedged in that position, as shown in Fig. 5. This looks the scraper in position and prevents it from dumping when it comes in contact with unyielding obstacles in the act of loading.

Havingdeseribed my invention,what I claim as new is- 1. An earth-scraper mounted upon two carrying-wheels, to which the scraper is hinged by means of a bent axle, and the link-lever 4, hinged to the lifting'lcver G by link 6 and to the bracket 3, and the scraper-body 1, substantially as described. v 2. An earth-scraper suspended upon a bent axle by means of the link 4, pivoted to the scraper and bracket at one end and hinged to the lifting-lever G by means of the link 6, in combination with the hounds D, pivoted to the scraper and bracket 3, substantially as described.

3. In combination with an earth scraper, the brackets 3, formed ofa bar riveted at its center to the scraper and bent to form a hook and pivot support, d, at one end, with the other end bent to form a pivot-support, 15, for connecting the link 4 to the scraper, substantially as described.

et. The combination, with the bracket 3, of the tongue pivoted at the rear end and the liftingdinks at the front end of said bracket for connecting said parts to the scraper, the suspending-bracket 2, forming an independent connection for the lifting-lever G, and connect- 5 ing it to the scraper independent of the tongue attachments, substantially as specified.

5. In combination with a scraper hinged to the bent axle, the lifting-lever G, hinged to the bracket 2, and the link-lever 4, connected to the bent axle by the clamps 12 13, pivoted at one end to the scraper, the other hinged by link 6 to the lifting-lever G, substantially as specified.

6. In combination with the lifting-lever G, the hooks H I, pivotally connected thereto by a single bolt, substantially as specified.

7. The combination of the lifting-lever G, hooked arms H I, connected together by the single bolt and to the scraper by the bracebars 9, substantially as specified.

S. In combination with the hounds D and the wedgehook 9, attached thereto, the linklever 4, having the arm 10, projecting down to engage with the hook-lug 9 and lock the scraper in position for loading, substantially as described.

9. In combination with the liftinglcver G, pivoted to the brackets 2, the link-lever 6, hinged thereto and to the link-lcver t, hinged to the bracket 3, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
